Man they got all kinds of teas here in Korea

They got "Ujah Cha" old home brew I used to have as a kid which is made of lemons amd honey

They got "Urmul Cha" my favourite. It's made from ground wheat and some other stuff. When I order it everyone cracks up. Sure as hell wish I knew why

They got "Chick cha"

They got "Tetchu cha" which tastes like prunes

They got " Sengak cha" which is ground jinger

They got "Insam cha" which is gensing

Anyone know of any orher's

�������� ohmijacha which is said to contain the 5 flavours (sweet, salty, sour, bitter and �����ϴ� perhaps? not sure)

Omija juice has just started appearing in the coolers too -- tart & tasty.

New one on me -- fruit of the maximowiczia.

Well, of course there is bori-cha (barley tea), and corn tea. And Ssanggwa, whatever that is - kind of a fruity taste.

Yeolmu-cha - with Job's tears and various other ingredients (sometimes including walnuts, almonds, black beans.

Here's a jar we found when we moved into our place - Honey jujube tea. Looked good. Unfortunately it was all moldy.

Then there's the medicinal teas. Got one kind way up the trail in Seorak-san. Another kind being dispensed at Jikchi-sa was kinda foul tasting - but supposedly good for something....

are you using the word "teas" as a metaphore for chicks? If not.................dude.........this is a boring post.

Yes, they've got every tea imaginable except the ones that most westerners want: a simple Orange Pekoe, or any black Indian or Ceylonese tea. I'd kill for a pot of Himalayan Oolong right now.

Where can an Englishman find some PG Tips? That's the tea that I miss.

I love omija cha~ tart & unsweetened.

Yoo ja cha is awesome on cold winter nights. Helps to fight off scurvy.

�ձ��� �� (Solomon's Seal) is one of my favorites

also good is green tea powder mixed with cold milk

I like English style black teas better, too. Carrefour has 5 different kinds.

�����/Chinese quince tea isn't half bad, though.

OP:

[pollyplummer]

I really dig the barley tea! I brew it up and drink two mugs of it warm and then put a couple liters of it in the fridge. I drink that stuff like there's no tomorrow. It's tastes so organic, earthy... it's almost other-worldly how natural and harmonious I feel when I drink it. Yeah, I'm over-dramatizing it, but I love teas. (except for those that taste like they have a freakin flower floating around inside them... jasmine, for example)
Question for Peony...
What is this?
�ձ��� �� (Solomon's Seal) is one of my favorites
